Hello folks,
I'd like to set up a test environment to include only a few users to apply the Forticlient web filter to, before eventually deploying it company-wide.
Essentially I'd like to be able to do something like: create a group in AD, link it to forticlient and be able to select it and apply web filter to. Is something like this possible and if so, can I get some guidance as to how to accomplish it?
Hey itsdlxson,
you can set up FortiClient profiles on basis of AD groups in FortiClient EMS:
- create a profile with webfiltering as you want to test
- associate with an endpoint policy
- assign the policy to a group and push out to FortiClients

For testing webfiltering, you can use testpages available on the FortiGuard website: https://www.fortiguard.com/webfilter/categories
Other than that, you can use FortiClient logs to check what webfiltering is doing.
